Look at here and the people who complain about it being too hard to figure out are the ones complaining about "I can't use muh slurs, this is awful."

"The left of today is very much in favour of censorship to avoid “harm.” This makes those of us in the middle very wary of signing up to any partisan media." /u/decidedlysticky23

/u/misshapensteed claims he isn't far right, but explictly only posts on PoliticalCompassMemes and TheLeftCantMeme and KotakuInAction.

If they are too stupid to figure out we know they're lying, they're too stupid to figure out lemmy.

I'm not sure what you're getting at. Isn't the point of the post is that it is a good thing that people who are intolerant of perspectives that challenge their own are avoiding Lemmy.

In general I tend to avoid people who are incapable of entertaining other viewpoints. They tend to stubbornly defend their frail counterpoints and then resort to childish antics when people don't agree with them.

They would rather be wrong than accept that they are wrong.

I don't think echo chambers are good for anybody. It's the echo chambers that created many of these people.

Above all else, echo chambers are boring.

Boring is good shit posting and constant online arguments have radicalized to many people and caused many real world deaths I love lemmy specifically because it is boring
